    Until we have ranked choice, “us” is the anti Republican contingent.

    You never vote FOR a candidate in a first past the post election. You vote AGAINST who you hate most. And not voting counts as a vote for who you hate most because it lowers their bar to win. It’s unfortunately how the math works out.

      I hate Democrats most because they block any meaningful progress to an alternative. What does that mean?

        It means you’re bad at strategy and privileged enough to not be too harmed by Republican policies.

            Yep! It’s their fault. They failed to vote.

            Also, they were dressed to sexily, so of course this happened.

            I haven’t been s Democrat in decades. I also understand how first past the post works.

            The current situation sucks, but we’re stuck in it. Provide an alternative strategy that doesn’t rely on hopes and dreams, and I’m in.

              Mate, your strategy is literally “do not criticize the party!”

              You’re on no position to accuse other people of relying on hopes and dreams.

                    To try and get everyone pulling the same direction so we don’t lose again, and to get people to understand that FPTP is not about voting FOR a good candidate. It’s about voting AGAINST the bad.
